EVEN TRACII GUNS DOESN’T KNOW WHO’S IN WHICH VERSION OF HIS BAND ANYMORE

Thursday, May 29th, 2008 at 11:11am by

Paul Black, the “original” singer of L.A. Guns who never actually sang on any old L.A. Guns records, has now split from the “new” version of L.A. Guns featuring original L.A. Guns guitarist/namesake Tracii Guns.

Although this would seem to point to a reunion between Tracii Guns and his old bandmates Phil Lewis and Steve Riley, who have continued on with the “old” L.A. Guns in Tracii’s absence, Tracii still has plans to make a new L.A. Guns album with his “new” “old” version of L.A. Guns, who have hired an “as-yet-undisclosed replacement singer with ‘blond’ hair,” according to Blabbermouth*.

Meanwhile, Lewis and Riley carry on with the “old” L.A. Guns and Tracii Guns’ replacement, Stacey Blades.

If you can make sense of any of this, please shoot yourself in the face**.

*The fact that the word “blond” appears in quotes has to get ya thinking. Are they quoting a source who says the singer is blond? Or do the quotes denote that he’s not a natural blond, like so many singers on the L.A. strip? Stay tuned for the exciting answer!

    the “blond” singer probably means the return of Ralph Saenz aka David Lee Ralph from Metal Skool to LA Guns! :-D

    It blows my mind that these guys still get written about and have a career. They may not be banking, but they still somehow tour and live off their “music”.

    I’ve seen one of the versions of LA Guns. (I was there to see a friend’s opening band). These guys can’t draw flies to shit. They’ve got 6 opening local bands bringing the whole crowd.

    As for their music. I guess Sex Action was ok…. They’ve had a 20+ year career off of that??? La Guns should have been opening for the local bands.

    I can make sense of it, course my sister and ma are the same person and all my cousins got flipper arms.

    I don’t think Ralph from Steel Panther would do it. He makes WAY TOO much money to bother with it.

    That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if the singer is Whitfield Crane from Ugly Kid Joe/Life of Agony/Another Animal.

    Y’know what SHOULD HAVE happened? Tracii should have gotten back together with Axl for a definitive “Guns N Roses” record (Chinese Democracy or no). Never mind this LA Guns shit. An Axl/Tracii reunion would have made for a guaranteed hit.
